Jaguar Julie LOVES Squidoo Lenses ... 

I really LOVE SQUIDOO with all my innards!

I AM a Member of The Giant Squid 100 Club

Yes, you too can be a Giant Squid on Squidoo. When the call went out to us lensmasters here on Squidoo, the challenge was to create 100 interesting and topical lenses in order to earn the honor of being a Giant Squid. I do believe a few lensmasters,...

I absolutely LOVE Squidoo

Hmmm, yes, Squidoo! I have been Squidooing for well over two years and there seems to be no letting up ... much to the sometime dismay of my dear old, somewhat spicy hubby. "Dear, so what did YOU do today? I'll bet you've been Squidooing haven't you!...

I AM a Squid Angel ... 

Thanks to Squidoo for granting my wings ...

In March 2008 I earned my wings as a Squid Angel here at Squidoo. It's two years since I first joined Squidoo and some 300+ lenses later.

It's hard to articulate what all being a Squid Angel means to me. You see, I'm a very spiritual type of person who honestly believes in angels and guardian angels in particular. I've been told that I have two guardian angels, my grandmothers, who are usually with me.

I'll be blessing the great lenses that I find. Oh, and I'm not known to give thumbs down as a rule as I'm more of a fly-over type of angel. ;-)

I AM a member of the Giant Squids 100 Club ... 

Thank you Squidoo, I am so thrilled!

On September 19, 2007, I was honored to hear that I had been chosen to join the Giant Squids, Squidoo's elite squad of the best and most prolific lensmasters on Squidoo. And, on top of that, I was able to exceed the challenge by creating over 100 lenses and be a member of the Giant Squids 100 Club!!!

I've published over 380 lenses to my name, have sold 2 more, and have 6 groups. I've 'consulted' on probably a couple dozen lenses for different lensmasters, giving them enhancement tips. It was about the time that I became a SquidAngel that I decided to focus on those duties plus work at adding finesse to my existing lenses. Now, if I decide to create another lens, it will be for a good cause like homeless pets! Oh, I H-E-A-R-T Squidoo.

Thanks to everyone at Squidoo--you know who you are--and also, thanks to those others who made this possible--God, my family, my tolerant hubby, my coworkers!

P.S. When writing my lenses, I've done my best to be "original," not copying other Squidoo lenses. I'm flattered when I see other lenses popping up that seem rather familiar to my lenses. Thanks all you squidsters!
